Handy chart which summarizes Warner Wallace's cumulative case for the reliability of the Gospels. I recommend his book, and he has quite a few Bible inserts like this, available for download here (look for his "Monthly Bible Insert").

So far, so good. 15) If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends? 16) Eagles may soar, but weasels don'
